      Title: Puerto Rican Rice & Beans (Arroz Con Habichuelas)
 Categories: Chilies, Rice, Beans, Pork
      Yield: 4 Servings

      4 c  Water
      8 oz Smoked ham hock
      1 c  Dried pinto beans
      1 c  Long grain rice; raw
      1 ts Olive oil
           +=WITH A=+
        ds Sesame oil
    1/2 md Onion; peeled, diced
      2 cl Garlic; peeled, smashed,
           - chopped
      1 lg Red bell pepper; cored,
           - deeded, diced
      2    Jalapenos; seeded, diced
      1 tb Fresh chopped oregano
     15 oz Can peeled plum tomatoes;
           - drained, juice reserved
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground peppercorns
      3 tb Fresh chopped cilantro
      2 tb Capers

  Place the water and ham hock in a pressure cooker, check
  to make sure the steam release holes are clear and cook
  for 5 minutes. Add the pinto beans and cook 20 minutes
  more. Add the rice, and when the pressure cooker "hisses,"
  cook for another 5 minutes.

  While the rice and beans cook, heat the oil in a large
  skillet and saute the onion and garlic until the onion
  becomes translucent. Add the red pepper, jalapeno peppers,
  oregano and tomatoes, stirring and chopping as you go. Add
  1/4 c of the reserved tomato juice, half of the salt and
  half of the pepper. Lower the heat and simmer 15 minutes.

  After the rice and beans have cooked, remove the ham hock,
  slice off 2 ounces of lean meat and reserve. Add the
  cooked rice and beans to the pepper-tomato mixture in the
  skillet. Stir in the reserved ham hock meat, 2 tablespoons
  of the cilantro, the capers and the remaining salt and
  pepper.

  To serve: Spoon into bowls and garnish with the remaining
  cilantro.

  Poster's notes:

  The recipe is very flexible in the type of chilies used. I
  usually blend a couple of types for complexity. The dish
  is also great for splashing on your favorite hot sauce
  too. I also usually add beer instead of water when things
  are looking a bit too dry. It also can be fun to mix in a
  few different types of beans, like black beans and pintos.
  It isn't a requirement to use a pressure cooker, but it is
  fast and the flavor from the ham hock to the beans is
  greater.
